Hi, I did post a reply yesterday afternoon but it didnt show up. I've upgraded my copy of Perl to 5.8.8.820 and re-installed PAR using the binary you quote. No change. Version are as below. I've included a run through from the command line for both the packed version and the native version of the program. I'm convinced there is no problem with the PAR install in that packing completes etc. I've used PAR for many other programs without any issue.
